It is possible and reasonable to write command line tools with Cocoa (use the Foundation framework). Foundation has no GUI components. I'm not sure about QTKit though. It may have GUI components and may presume things about having a standard runloop. As I mentioned in the other thread, AVFoundation is probably the better way forward than QTKit. However, I don't know if how it will do in a command line app. ImageIO can get you image capabilities without needing a GUI and I know that will work. -Eric -- Beginning iPhone Games Development http://playcontrol.net/iphonegamebook/ _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
